The man appeared to have a “medical emergency” on board the plane which saw him allegedly bite a passenger and start “trying to fight everybody” triggering the pilot to make an emergency call

A pilot was forced to make a chilling call to air traffic controllers before landing on Sunday as a man allegedly bit another passenger on board.

The American Airlines flight was landing in Philadelphia when the passenger was “trying to fight everybody” and suddenly got out of control.

Audio from the call from the pilot heard him say: “I don’t know if he’s hallucinating or whatever, but he just bit a passenger, and he’s trying to fight everybody.”

He then requested emergency medical crews and law enforcement before telling a controller in an audio recording obtained by CBS News, “what a day, huh?”

The controller wished him a happy Father’s Day and he responded: “I’ll be sure to tell my daughters about this one.”

American Airlines said in a statement the passenger was experiencing a medical issue, and a medical professional on the plane assisted him before the flight landed.

According to tracking sight FlightAware the flight left Charlotte, North Carolina, earlier in the morning, and landed just before 10 am ET.

The news of the passenger’s behaviour follows other incidents onboard flights recently.

On a Frontier Airlines flight a man allegedly attempted to open an emergency exit mid-flight, having to be held down by passengers and crew members.

The plane bound for Guatemala City was flying at 36,000 feet at the time of the incident.

On a Lufthansa flight a female passenger attacked somebody on board and it had to make an emergency landing.

Sharp, fearless and brimming with confidence, Lamine Yamal drifted past defenders with ease and injected life into Spain’s attack. There was a sense of inevitability about what would follow.

When the breakthrough came, it was fittingly his.

A low cross flashed across goal and Lamine Yamal arrived at the back post, sliding in to convert and score his first World Cup goal.

The Atlanta stadium erupted as fans cheered, danced and chanted Lamine Yamal’s name. This was the superstar they had come to see.

Guillem Balague, speaking on 5 Live, said he saw Lamine Yamal walking out looking around like he had just conquered the world.

“Is it arrogance? Or confidence? A mixture of both,” he said. “He is the chosen one, he wants to be the chosen one.

“He is so happy in the role he is taking on as leader of the team. He told me once that his joy when he plays football is seeing the same reaction when he used to play five-a-side.’

Lamine Yamal became the seventh player in history to score at a World Cup before turning 19, and only the second aged 18 or younger to open the scoring in a match, the other being a 17-year-old Pele for Brazil against Wales in 1958.

Wayne Rooney was highly complementary of the teenager – the comparisons to Lionel Messi inevitable.

Lamine Yamal has broken many of Messi’s records at Barcelona and now he has pipped him on the global stage, too – the Argentine was just shy of his 19th birthday when he netted his first World Cup goal in 2006, the Spaniard has done it two weeks younger.

“For Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the application and dedication they’ve had is the reason they are both playing in this World Cup,” the former England forward told Match of the Day. “They have done everything right. Hopefully Lamine Yamal can do that.

“What is really impressive to me is when Messi came in to that Barcelona team, there was some top players and a crossover with Ronaldinho.

“[Lamine Yamal] has come in to the Barcelona and Spain team and it is his team, he is the main man.

“Everyone is looking to him to win. [He was] a big part of winning the Euros and will be a big part of this World Cup. That is what really impresses me, he is taking the pressure on at such a young age. You hope he can do that for the next 15, 20 years.”

Rob Key, the ECB’s managing director of men’s cricket, said last week that Atkinson claimed he did not know the midnight curfew was in operation after the completion of a game. In response, Key said the details had been communicated via the Team England Player Partnership – an umbrella group representing those with central contracts – and were widely known.

“Countries such as Germany, Ireland, Italy and several other European destinations are attracting increasing interest from Indian students because of lower tuition costs, favourable post-study work pathways, strong employment prospects and a more attractive overall value proposition,” said Mayank Maheshwari, co-founder and COO of University Living, a student accommodation platform.

Officers were called to the beach after concerned members of the public saw the men on Sunday afternoon, June 21.

Police in Northern Ireland were called to reports of men “believed to have a knife” on a beach – only to find they were preparing for a barbecue.

Families had been out enjoying the summer sun at Portstewart Strand, near Coleraine, in County Derry on the country’s north coast when a number of people spotted one of the men carrying the knife.

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) have moved quickly to allay fears after speaking with the men and discovering the innocent intentions behind the incident, reports Belfast Live.

Several officers were dispatched to the scene but it was quickly de-escalated. No crimes were recorded but officers did remove the knife which will be destroyed.

In a statement, PSNI said: “Police received a report of a number of men – one of whom was believed to have a knife – in the Portstewart Strand area on Sunday afternoon, 21st June.

“Officers were immediately dispatched to the scene where they spoke with the men.

“A subsequent search of the men’s van established that they had been preparing barbecue at the beach and the knife was being used for this purpose.

“No criminal offences were noted, however the knife was removed for disposal. No further police action was taken.”

Bowie, who was recently made an MBE for services to radio and charity in the west of Scotland, said: “The Commonwealth Games returning to Glasgow deserves a special kind of star power, so it was an honour to share a few tips with Scotland’s own global superstar, Sam Heughan, and help get him ready for the occasion.

Cristiano Ronaldo was unable to find the back of the net in Portugal’s 1-1 draw with DR Congo in the World Cup earlier this week, but Michael Owen has defended the former Manchester United forward

Michael Owen has come to Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo’s defence following the forward’s display in Portugal’s World Cup opener. Ronaldo failed to get on the scoresheet as his side were held to a 1-1 draw with DR Congo earlier this week.

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Joao Neves broke the deadlock for Portugal on Wednesday before Newcastle striker Yoane Wissa levelled things up before half-time.

Ronaldo played the full 90 minutes of the Group K encounter, and the 41-year-old will be eager to help steer his nation to three points in their next outing against Uzbekistan on Tuesday evening.

The Al Nassr star’s display has sparked considerable debate, particularly after Lionel Messi netted a hat-trick for Argentina 24 hours earlier in their 3-0 victory over Algeria.

Now, Owen has stepped in to defend Ronaldo and outlined what Portugal must do to unlock the best from the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star, alongside a prediction for the country’s upcoming clash with Uzbekistan.

“It did not help Cristiano Ronaldo that Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick the night before Portugal played, but I’m not having the criticism of him.,” Owen stated in the Daily Mail.

“Portugal weren’t great in their 1-1 draw with DR Congo and a lot of the fallout has been around Ronaldo and him being a problem for them.

“But hasn’t he always played like this, to a degree? He has never been a player, especially in recent years, who involves himself in the game. He will be there for the big moments, though. If he’s not scoring, it’s too easy to blame Ronaldo. At 41, he is going to be questioned.

“But how many times has this happened and he’s shut everyone up in the next game? If you’re picking Ronaldo then you have to accept what he is there for – and I wouldn’t be surprised if he responds with a hat-trick of his own against Uzbekistan.”

Following the stalemate with DR Congo, Ronaldo took to social media to deliver a pointed message to Portugal supporters ahead of the rest of their World Cup campaign.

“Not the start we wanted, but this is far from over,” Ronaldo posted on Instagram earlier this week. “Head up and focus on the next game.”

After facing Uzbekistan, Ronaldo and his Portugal teammates will then take on Colombia on Saturday night in their concluding World Cup group stage match.

TRNSMT came to an end at Glasgow Green for 2026 with headliner Lewis Capaldi taking to the stage.

Lewis Capaldi was met by cheers and rapturous applause as he closed the final day of TRNSMT 2026 with his emotive set and powerful vocals and turned the festival into a giant singalong.

The singer even issued a cheeky Father’s Day message before joking he was about to make everyone feel miserable with his songs. He said: “Happy Father’s Day to those with fathers and if you don’t have a father, I’ll be your daddy.”

The Scots singing star spoke after entering the stage to his song Hollywood swiftly followed by a powerful rendition of Grace.

His vocals were stronger than ever as he followed up with songs including Forever and arms were raised and waved in the air as he sang anthem Bruises followed by Pointless.

Lewis reminisced about his appearances at previous TRNSMT festivals saying he was there performing for the fifth time. Asking if everyone was ok and reassuring everyone he was too, he said: “Right. I’m having a good time. Is everyone having a good time?

“Thanks for that. Hey, man. I know this is the fifth time I’ve played TRNSMT, fifth time at this festival. 2017, we played over in the King Tut’s stage. I think I had one song out at the time, maybe two. I was quite busy. It was nice. We were on the come up. It was good.

“In 2018, I opened up the main stage for the first time. It was fucking empty. I thought, ‘f***, this has gone tits up. This is not going well.’ 2019, Snow Patrol were playing. But they couldn’t play so we stepped in, and we were second to last, and we stepped on here.

“And 2022, yeah, we headlined it for the first time as I mentioned. This evening, in front of you I’m back. Thank you very much for sticking with me all this time. Thank you TRNSMT for the money over the years. It’s been nice.

“It still holds a special place because you know, we’ve done f***ing so many things here from the start we belong here. About almost 10 years later, the festival holds a special place, genuinely, and they shine the light on an incredible thing, the stars of tomorrow.“

Lewis also gave a special shout out to fellow West Lothian local Susan Boyle who was watching him at the side of the stage.

He said: “Susan Boyle’s standing there – big shout out to Susan Boyle. I love Susan Boyle we’re from the same town. I’ll never be the most famous person from there.”

And the singer touched on his mental health and his big comeback following a break saying: “At the start of the set I mentioned I took a break for my mental health in case I wasn’t feeling so great. I am feeling better.

“When I first took that break there was a time I never thought I’d be here. To be here is really special and this song is about the time I took that break and it’s called The Day I Died.”

The powerful song led into Lewis singing Hold Me While You Wait, the star ended on Forget Me before he returned for an acoustic guitar cover rendition of Have You Ever Seen The Rain?

He thanked Glasgow and told them he was going away for a while to write a new album and hoped everyone would be there on his return.

As the sun went down on TRNSMT Lewis thanked Glasgow for being there today and got the crowd swaying in unison to Survive. Inevitably, he then finished his set with a guitar-led rendition of his biggest hit, Someone You Loved.

As the pyrotechnics lit up the stage, it was the perfect ending to the three day long festival.
